1. Which animal-derived food contains the most significant level of carbohydrates?

• A. Egg
• B. Beef
• C. Milk
• D. Poultry

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Milk contains the most significant level of carbohydrates among animal-derived foods. Milk and milk products supply significant quantities of carbohydrate in the form of lactose. Eggs, beef, and poultry are not significant sources of carbohydrates compared to milk. In cheese making, lactose is removed as a by-product, reducing the carbohydrate content further.

2. Which of the following statements about Z-Track technique is false?

• A. Z-Track injections prevent irritation of the subcutaneous tissues
• B. The technique involves creating a Zig-Zag like pattern of medication
• C. It forces the medication to be contained in the subcutaneous tissues
• D. It is used when administering Parenteral Iron

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The Z-Track technique is aimed at preventing medication leakage into the surrounding tissues by sealing the medication in the muscle, not by creating a Zig-Zag pattern. Choice A is correct as Z-Track injections help prevent irritation. Choice C is correct as it accurately describes how the technique works. Choice D is also correct as the Z-Track technique is commonly used when administering Parenteral Iron to prevent staining and irritation of the surrounding tissues.

3. Overweight and obesity often accompany conditions such as _____ that limit mobility or result in short stature, which can lead to feeding difficulties.

• A. Parkinson's disease
• B. muscular dystrophy
• C. Down syndrome
• D. multiple sclerosis

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, Down syndrome. Down syndrome is often associated with short stature and limited mobility, which can contribute to feeding difficulties and obesity. Parkinson's disease (choice A) primarily affects motor function, but it is not typically associated with short stature. Muscular dystrophy (choice B) primarily impacts muscle strength and does not necessarily lead to short stature. Multiple sclerosis (choice D) is a neurological condition affecting the central nervous system and does not directly cause short stature or feeding difficulties as seen in Down syndrome.

4. Which of the following vaccines is not done by intramuscular (IM) injection?

• A. Measles vaccine C. Hepa-B vaccine

5. Which mineral is essential for wound healing?

• A. iodine
• B. chromium
• C. zinc
• D. sulfate

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Zinc plays a critical role in wound healing due to its involvement in cell proliferation, immune function, and protein synthesis, all of which are essential for tissue repair.
